Send in your “ads” be* fore all the spaco is taken. A. R. Calhoun, Proprietor. Georoe Lauar, who died on the 28th of November, in Monroe county, Pa., waa probably the last living man who voted for George Washington for President. He was born in 1783, and was conse quently in the 112th year of bis age when he died. He was hale and hearty and preserved his mental faculties to the last. Great are the mysteries of statutory law, or of the pleadings that govern its application. We aro now informed that Harrington and Whitely cannot again be tried for complicity in the “safe bur glary," because the indictment against them was found by a grand jury about whose selection there was some sort of informality. The “informality" of their proceedings in reference to the safe bur- glary thus escapes punishment. The Board of Commissioners of Louis iana nearly completed tlio counting of tho returns of the Htato election on Tuesday. Only uiue parishes remained to be can vassed when the Hoard adjourned that evening, and it .was thought that the count would bo completed on Wednesday. Hut the Picayune thought that the Board would then take time to mature their plans. The parishes remaining to bo canvassed are all Conservative, and if no trickery or usurpation is practiced by the Board, the result will he a Conservative victory as complete as has been hereto fore reported. A reporter of the Augusta Chronicle has “interviewed" Gov. Smith, and states tho Governor's views ou several important subjects that will probably come before the next Legislature. According to this report, Gov. Smith is opposed to the rec ognition of any part of the bonds pro- nouuoed fraudulent by the last Legisla ture. lie thinks that it would be safer to have the bond question settled by a Con stitutional Convention, but believes that tho new Legislature has tho power to per fect aud pass (he bungling amendment proposed by tho last Legislature. The Governor thinks that the State has not a sufficiency of producoiH, desires whitQ im migration, deplores negro emigration, aud is in favor of a stricter vagrant law. The Savannah papors notice the re port of the President aud Board of Direc tors of the Central Uailroad Company, made to the stockholders. It embraces a period of uine months, ending on the 1st of September last. President Wadley re ports gross receipts ^‘2,101,107 8‘J, expen ses of operating $1,520,801 01—leaviug a balance of $571,245 80. We are not in formed whether this surplus was sufficient to pay the liabilities of the company for interest on bond, Ac. Hut tho report speaks tersely of intensified competition, short crops, financial embarrassments, and “bad faith in not maintaining rates agreed upon," and adds “from this the Hoard can see no immediate hope of re lief." The steamship line earned $121,- 888. It in proposed to sell two of the old ships aud build two new ones. The Adver- User shows that the reports about the Direo- tora selling their stock in tho road are not true, an they own more aharen now than they did in 1873. Alabama Legislature. W'ednesday % l .)th.—The Senate passed the bill to precept the sale of agricultural products betw«m sunrise aud sunset also the bill to repeal the act to prevent murder, lynching, Ac. (known as the Ku- Klux act, making tho counties rospousi- ble) ; also a bill authori/.iug Chancellors to make women free dealers, aud to thorize them to mortgago their property; also the hill fixing tho salary of Commis sioner of Industrial Resources at $500 also a joint resolution extending the ses sion beyond thirty days—yens 25, nays 4. The hill to provide for taking the census in 1875 was reforrod to special committee, The bill to amend section 4,031 of the Code, bo as to provide for holdiug County Courts every throe mouths, was indefi nitely postponed. Gov. Houston sent a special mossage to tho Legislature direct ing attention to the complications of tho Alabama and Chattauooga* Railroad, urg ing an effort to protect the lights of tho State and maintain its lieu on the road, advising that the State decline to become a party to any suit in the Federal Courts affecting the road, Ac. The message was referred to a joint committee. The House adopted the Souate's resolu tion for a joiut committee to divide the State into eight Congressioual Districts. A number of new bills were introduced in the House, and referred. The House passed the Senate’s resolution to exteud the session beyond thirty days. The vote of the House on this question stood, yeas G8, uays 27. Mo»t of the Republi cans voted against the resolution, aud all Ihe Democrat* for it. The two Houses, in joint convention, elected Mr. W. W. Screws, of the Adver - tiger, State Printer. The vote stood — Sorews 85, Bingham 38, Baffold of Be Una 4. These are the two fvomineat topics of the message ; at least the two moat inter esting to this section. Tho President is strong in his convictloB that all the inter ests of the country demand a speedy re turn to npecie payments ; a proposition about which, wa presume, there will be bnt little difference of opinion. He wants the present Congress to fix.a day for re sumption, intimating that he does not think it can be a very early day. [A re port of a conversation with him says that ho does not Ihink redemption can be reached as early as 187G.] Rut tho mes sage is notably wanting 1q the recom mendation of any financial scheme by which the Government can prepare for resumption even within two or three years to come. The President says, it is trite, 4 that the revenues must considerably ex ceed the expenditures before this end can he reached, and he suggests the raising of a larger tevemie from the tariff on imposts. This is, however, not a resort likely to be popular with the people at this time, par ticularly when the intimation is made that the higher duties on tea and coffee ought to be restored, and that to make up for loss of revenue by the proposed redac tion of the dutes on such articles as the manufacturers consume, tho commodities which the people have to obtain from for eign countries ought to be taxed higher. The people generally who consume for eign products would prefer to have a di rect benefit by the reduction of the duty on those imported (Commodities which they have to use, rather than an indirect benefit by the lessening of the duties ou articles which the manufacturers have to use, such as wool, leather, dye-stuffs, Ao. Tho tariff is onerous now, and tho party dinging to a brief tenure of power in CougretM will hardly risk the experiment of uiakiug it higher. The Government is not prepared for specie payments now—that is admitted. It has not, apparently, made any progress in proparatiou for the last eight years, un less a slight reduction of the bonded debt is a remote sort of preparation. The volume of the.curreney is as great as it was years ago, and the receipts of gold aud silver coin in the Troasury are no lurger now thau they were then. Tho work of pre paration has not commenced, and we do not see any practicable way of commenc ing it while tho coin receipts of the Treas ury are all paid out in the way of interest to the bondholders or in tbe purchase of bonds. Tho Government now partially dishonors its own paper by refusing to tuko it for impost duties, and now tho President proposes that before the day set for redemption the provision making tbe currency a legal teudor must be repealed. We are uuable to see bow this step is go ing to appreciate tbe currency or prepare the way for redemption. Will it not in crease the demand for coiu ? '1 ko President suggests that the Secre tary should have power to obtain gold as it may become necessary from time to time—evidently meaning by the sale of more Government bonds, and to be con sistent it must bo added by the sule of more bonds bearing gold interest. Is this a safe proceedihg by which to pre- pure tho way for spooio payments ? Is not the great amount of Government gold interest bonds already out one of the chief obstacles to resumption? Gan we ever hope for a sustained resumption of specie payments while the Government increases its bonded debt ? lint the President’s scheme of prepara tion for redemption—if we may couclude that he has one from the hints and inti mations in the message—does not inelude tho National Banks. What is to become of their currency—now half of tbe circu lating medium of the country—if the Gov ernment gets possession of all the gold aud then redeems?—if the Government continues to sell bonds for gold in order to obtain enough to redeem its own is sues ? Clearly the notes of the National Banks must still further depreciate; and what kind of relief to the country would result from a policy like this ? As to the vast volume of curreuoy issued by the National Banks, it is appareut that Gen. Grant is In a similar mood to that of Toombs’ countryman—he is “agin re demption." To fix a day of redemption and then make no adequate preparation for it, would be trifling with this great question nud with the interest of the pooplo of tho Uuion. It may serve to “tide" the Re publican party over tho next Presidential election; but a victory woo by such de ception would l>e followed by wide-spread disaster, general panic, depression, and vory likely repudiation. On the subject of Southern outrages, the President is a little thtburiis t though he. strongly inclines to a continuation of the policy of governing tho Southern States from Washington. Ho thinks it likely that thero has been exaggeration on both sides in respect to reported “outrages” in tbe South—on the part of the Republi cans in misrepresenting their number aud extent, aud on tho part of the Democrats in denying the reports altogether. There has been a test of this matter, and ao far its results have boon altogether confirma tory of the denials made by the Democrats of the South Hundreds of white men have this year becnarrcsted in the South on Kudical charges of “outrages,” intimi dation, Ac., for political purposes. Every ouo of them has been carried before Fed eral judicial officers, differing from them in politics, for trial or examination. Now, how many of them have been convicted ?i Can half a dozen be named ? Most of thorn have beeu discharged on preliminary examina tion ; others held under bond on very fee ble presumption of possible guilt. But uoue that we can name have been convict ed, or are at all likely to bo convicted; and this notwithstanding the fact that the Enforcement set turn* almost every pre sumption against the accused, literally holds him to be guilty uutil he establishes bis innooenoe by proof positive. The President ought tc know that) the reports of Southern political outrage^ represent ing the white meu of tbe 8ou|h to he the guilty parties, are in nearly all oaeee false, end will so be pronounced by tbe i assembled in Opelika on Wednesday. Federal Judiciary. But we have no time attendance of 1 oth ministers and lay f- ft “ U —*“ Por,ionof !^« ne message. t pointed.

Conference resolved to take up tbe proposed amendment of the Dis cipline in reference to intoxicating liquor on Monday, and to vote on it without de bate. Disciplinary business was then taken np. —Says the EufAula Time* of Tuesday The United States Deputy Marshal made fifteen arictits abSpring Hill on Saturday last. The parties appeared before Special Commissioner Looke, and gave bonds in sums of ten and eleven thousand dollars. Tbeir names are: J. F. Comer, J. W. Comer, B. B. Comer—each in the sum of $11,800; Thos. Swanson, W. F. Crane, Dr. J. B. Pouocy, James Long, Benj. Long, J. B. Mallory, Nathan Smith, D. H. Bishop, Bobb Diggs, colored, and Messrs. Townsend and Shelby, all gave bond in the sum of $10,800 each. Llttell*e Llvlnf Age for 1876, After its successful career of over thirty years The Living Age seems more rigor ous anil prosperous than ever before. Always the chief, it is now (since its ab sorption of “Every Saturday") the only eclectic weekly of the country. What distinguishes it is the fact that it presents inexpensively, considering its three and a quarter thousand large payee of reading matter a year, with freshness, owing to the frequency of ite issue, and with a sat isfactory completeness attempted by no other publication whatever, the ablest essays and reviews, the best serial and short stories, tbe finest sketches and poems, and the most valuable biographi cal, historical, scisntiflo and political in formation from the entire body of foreign periodical literature. It is therefore invaluable to American readers as the ouly thorough as well aa frer.li compilation of a get erally inacces sible but indispensable current literature; generally inaccessible because of its great bulk and ost; indispensable because it embraces tbe productions qt the ablest living writers in science, fiction, poetry, history, biography, politics, theology, philosophy, criticism and art. Represented in its pages are such dis tinguished authors as Prof. Max Mailer, Prof. Tyndall, Dr. W. B. Carpenter, Hon. W. E. Gladstone, Prof. Hnxley, Frances Power Cobbe, Richard A. Proctor, Mat thew' Arnold, the Duke of Argyll, CharleB Kingsley, Arthur Helps, James Anthony Fronde, Mrs. Muloch, Anthony Trollope, Mrs. Oliphant, Miss Thackeray, William Black, George MacDonald, Jean Ingelow, Erckuiaun-Chatrian, Ivon Turguenieff, Tennyson, Browning, and many others. During the coming year it promises,be sides the best serial and short stories of the leading foreign authors, the usual amount, unapproached by any other peri odical, of tbe most important literary and scientific matter of tho day,from the pens of the above named aud many other ablest living contributors to current liter ature. Inthe multiplicity of quarterlies,month lies and weeklies, 7Lining Age is an invaluable economizer of time, labor and money. It is prononneed “the best of the eclectics," and, all things considered, the cheapest; and has become almost a necessity to every person or family desir ing a satisfactory compendium of the noteworthy in the literary world. In no other knowu way, certainly, can so much of the best work of the best minds of the age bo obtained so convenienentiy, or with so little money, as through this most comprehensive of periodicals. The subscription price is $8 a year, which is cheap for tho amount of reading furnished; or for those desiring the cream of both home and foreign literature, the publishers make a still cheaper offer, viz: lo send (postage prepaid on both periodi cals) The Living Age and either one of the Ameiioan $4 monthlies, or weeklies, a year for $10 50. With The Living Age and one or other of our leadiog American monthlies, a subscriber will, at remarka bly small cost, bo in possession of the best which the current literature of the world affords. The volume begins Jan. 1st. aud to new subscribers, remitting now, the publishers (Little A Gay, Boston,) offer to send the intervening numbers grafts. dec8 dlw —Registration for the city election closed in Savannah on Monday with 2,980 names. .—Hr.
